Based on the real life audacious – and sometimes shocking – adventures of Tucker Max… unfortunately.

A tireless and charismatic novelty seeker, Tucker tricks his buddy Dan into lying to his fiancée, so they can go to a legendary strip club to celebrate Dan’s last days of bachelorhood in proper style. Tucker drags their misanthropic friend Drew along for the ride, and before they know it Tucker’s pursuit of a hilarious carnal interest lands Dan in serious trouble with the law and his future wife. The ensuing blowout leaves Tucker uninvited to the wedding and ankle deep in a mess of his own creation.  If he wants back into the wedding and the lives of his best friends, he’ll have to find a way to balance the demands of friendship with his own narcissism and selfishness.

After a five-year hiatus, John Lennon was back in the studio. Lennon had famously walked away from the music business, the fame machine, everything. He baked bread, took care of his son Sean, spent his time “watching the wheels go ‘round and ‘round.” But now Lennon was back recording. He was, perhaps for the first time in his life, unreservedly happy.

Synopsis

Marek, Evers, Losada and Arielle have robbed an armoured truck, killed its driver and made off with $4,000,000 in cash. But the freeway is road-blocked by police, so they ditch their guns and stash the loot in the luggage rack of a middle class family’s suburban at a rest stop. Passing through the checkpoint abreast of their unsuspecting “mules,” the robbers follow the Sidwell family truck, anticipating that once the family makes camp, taking back the money should be easy. Mr. Sidwell, however, notices he’s being followed, and in the attempt to outrun his persuers, is arrested for reckless driving. Thus begins a series of unforseen complications in Marek’s plan, culminating in the Sidwell’s discovery of the cash, a marital dispute about how it got there, and then its inexplicable disappearance. As Marek quarrels with Losado over who’s in charge and how to proceed, the Sidwells recognize their lives are at stake and prepare, as a family, to do battle with four ruthless killers.
